The Angel's Breath

The Angel's Breath

A Poem by The White Rose
"

I wrote this about the betrayal of my friend for my English poetry portfolio. We were required to write it as an elegy of a person we hate, enlisting the use of euphemisms.

"



Six feet under

At room temperature

Thou art sleeping with the fishes

With webs thou wove in rapture

From the Devils threads

So divine

Intricately fitted

For an angels breath, to entwine.

For an angel

Thou disarmingly likened me

From under-the-table

Three words bequeathed by thee

But as an Indian giver

Three sheets to the wind

With flair thou escaped

And chose to rescind

Regret not the ticket that sent thee

To thy fate, down a one-way road

For unrequited love

The angel bestowed

Upon thy soul

Thy mind

Thy heart

The light in thy eyes she knew to be blind

Thou met thy Maker

Succumbed to derision

Left me decaying in remains

Of thy passive-aggression

The Serpent whose fangs

Sucked out warmths contour

Such magnificent betrayal

Like Ive known not ever before.

Oh! How I long for thy company

The gallantry of knights

Thou never sought to gain

The sting of frostbites

Thou never strove to cure

Thou eccentricity from afar I admire

But hate thee? I could never

For thee placed me in a gyre.

Wonderfully artful, thou mislead even the best

Made sure thered be no peace, even as being put to rest.
